> In other words, is it the misrepresentation that's the problem, is it your need to scrutinize the subcontractors, or is it simply that the prime contractor isn't personally toiling sufficiently for you?

There seem to be quite a few comments specifically calling out the misrepresentation as the main problem. I guess we could speculate that the motivation is actually that they want the prime contractor to toil for them, but I dunno. Caring who exactly is toiling seems kind of weird and controlling, we should be generous to the community and not ascribe weird motivation to them if they've got some other perfectly reasonable reason to care.
